Wikipedia description:

Illegal aliens was a topical subject term in the Library of Congress Subject Headings thesaurus, a phrase assigned by librarians to describe the content of resources in a library catalog relating to undocumented immigration. The subject heading became a topic of political interest in the United States in 2016, when a decision by the Library of Congress to revise the heading and replace it with the terms Noncitizens and Unauthorized immigration was opposed by congressional Republicans. It was the first time in US history that Congress interfered in the determination of a Library of Congress Subject Heading. The Illegal aliens group of subject headings was replaced in 2021 with two headings, Noncitizens and Illegal immigration and the corresponding subheadings.
